I think you guys need to search for some previous posts on TB on the deals people get on Memorial Day. I could care less what your opinions are on GC, they have good deals in SOME of the stores on Labor Day and Memorial Day and usually someone around here has some inside info on what may be on sale.

I might be taking a beautiful girl to Santa Monica beach followed by an evening on the pier Memorial Day.


But... prices so low they can't be heard are interesting too. And GC IS on the way to the beach...



I've got a problem.

I passed up on a $99 Squier P-bass that I should've jumped on. For 1 bill, it would've made a great beater bass. I hope I can find another one.

Hows come when somone dies or it's someones birthday retail establishments find it mandatory to have a sale?

It isn't the olden days where people actually get these days off anymore.

Nope, it's capitalistic to the extreme America... any excuse to move more products and make more money. And I guess I'm falling for it... and more people do too.

Frankly, I'm over some days being special and everyone getting off. It's highly inconvenient... try finding a decent meal on new years eve... and they're just letting them off to go drink... but on a real holiday like Christmas, you can still get a big mac.

America at its finest.

I hear the police will be writing down license plate numbers in the parking lot, like they do at biker bars. Just kidding, but I'm a GC cynic after two GC stores at two different stores told me that Eden is out of business.

I agree. I just have yet to find a deal on something I went in there to buy. I don't go in there with the intent on buying something random that is a good deal. I normally go in looking for something in particular.

The one I go to has good deals now and then. I am always amazed how willing the salespeople are to deal. I was only looking at an electronic drumset the other day, and the guy offered to knock $400 off without me even saying a word.
